by_o the_o help_n of_o what_o i_o have_v say_v i_o desire_v to_o communicate_v as_o far_o i_o can_v to_o those_o that_o want_v it_o to_o the_o socinian_o especial_o of_o who_o i_o have_v so_o good_a a_o opinion_n error_n except_v that_o i_o shall_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o great_a blessing_n if_o i_o may_v help_v towards_o their_o peace_n with_o our_o church_n but_o there_o be_v another_o and_o great_a obstacle_n and_o i_o must_v either_o leave_v my_o work_n half_o undo_v or_o so_o represent_v the_o other_o doctrine_n of_o the_o incarnation_n that_o rational_a and_o conscientious_a man_n may_v apprehend_v it_o lawful_a to_o communicate_v with_o we_o as_o well_o in_o our_o liturgy_n as_o our_o creed_n i_o therefore_o think_v necessary_a to_o add_v some_o proposition_n concern_v that_o article_n also_o 1._o whoever_o believe_v j._n c._n to_o be_v his_o saviour_n must_v needs_o think_v himself_o oblige_v to_o pay_v he_o all_o the_o honour_n that_o he_o can_v think_v consistent_a with_o scripture_n and_o reason_n 2._o the_o scripture_n declare_v j._n c._n to_o be_v as_o much_o god_n as_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v this_o appear_v from_o many_o text_n particular_o from_o the_o word_n of_o st._n paul_n who_o say_v that_o in_o he_o dwell_v all_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n bodily_a and_o from_o those_o of_o our_o saviour_n himself_o who_o say_v god_n give_v not_o the_o spirit_n by_o measure_n unto_o he_o which_o import_n no_o less_o than_o that_o god_n give_v he_o as_o much_o divinity_n as_o possible_o he_o can_v 3._o to_o determine_v how_o much_o god_n can_v do_v be_v more_o derogatory_n to_o his_o honour_n than_o to_o say_v he_o have_v do_v more_o than_o he_o real_o have_v do_v for_o the_o late_a be_v only_o a_o innocent_a error_n in_o matter_n of_o fact_n but_o the_o other_o be_v a_o saucy_a confinement_n of_o god_n omnipotence_n 4._o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a or_o so_o much_o as_o difficult_a to_o apprehend_v that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n which_o impli_v his_o purity_n shall_v unite_v itself_o to_o a_o man_n without_o self-existence_n and_o omnipotency_n and_o so_o the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d may_v be_v incarnate_a without_o the_o joint_a incarnation_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o h._n g._n 5._o if_o we_o believe_v not_o christ_n to_o be_v god_n eternal_a yet_o if_o we_o believe_v he_o deify_v in_o time_n whether_o we_o compute_v that_o time_n from_o his_o conception_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n as_o some_o or_o from_o his_o exaltation_n to_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n as_o other_o this_o will_v justify_v our_o adoration_n of_o he_o and_o since_o practice_n be_v the_o only_a end_n of_o speculation_n we_o need_v not_o doubt_n but_o our_o gracious_a redeemer_n will_v allow_v for_o our_o innocent_a fail_n in_o the_o late_a when_o we_o pay_v he_o his_o due_n in_o the_o former_a 6._o though_o we_o adore_v he_o under_o the_o character_n of_o the_o son_n of_o david_n yet_o we_o thereby_o intend_v the_o person_n that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o our_o worship_n be_v proper_o direct_v to_o his_o divinity_n since_o that_o only_o can_v hear_v and_o grant_v prayer_n 7._o if_o these_o proposition_n be_v true_a then_o be_v there_o no_o danger_n 〈◊〉_d communicate_v with_o our_o church_n both_o in_o creed_n and_o liturgy_n but_o in_o depart_v from_o she_o there_o be_v double_a danger_n of_o two_o great_a sin_n viz._n schism_n and_o sacrilege_n what_o i_o have_v thus_o say_v i_o hope_v may_v convince_v the_o socinian_o that_o they_o may_v more_o safe_o communicate_v with_o our_o church_n than_o trouble_v her_o peace_n and_o i_o need_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o other_o comprehensive_a side_n of_o the_o word_n to_o show_v how_o two_o nature_n may_v make_v one_o person_n b_n because_o that_o notion_n have_v no_o place_n in_o the_o devotion_n of_o our_o church_n and_o because_o it_o be_v exemplify_v in_o a_o paper_n very_o late_o
